Your installation at Watson was wonderful! Colleagues and I walked in and were first drawn to looking at the main images on the screen, then we quickly realized, hey, we're up there, watching our bodies being projected and viewed. We then explored the space, "touch here" and playing a bit of the cccc video, and covering up the various projectors with our hands to figure out which was doing what and to watch the screen with various layers blacked out. We also covered the camera, seeing our hands get bigger and bigger going up to the camera lens until blackness blocked our bodies from view was interesting too, a futile attempt to stop our bodies from being projected and read because, of course, that blackness was caused by our skin up against camera, making clear that even with a camera blocked there is no way out of projection--being read and reading.

Thanks for the thought-provoking experience!
